Summary:

Modesto High is a public high school located in Modesto, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,516 students. The school is part of the Modesto City High District, which is ranked 752 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Modesto High faces several challenges, including consistently ranking in the bottom half of California high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating below-average performance. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and English Language Learner students performing relatively better, while Asian, Hispanic, and Special Education students perform significantly worse compared to state averages. Modesto High's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics are well below the state averages, and the school's performance on the California Science Test (CAST) is also significantly lower than the state. Additionally, Modesto High's four-year graduation rate has declined, and its dropout rate and chronic absenteeism rate have increased, both of which are higher than the state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Modesto High's performance is generally lower than the Thomas Downey High and Grace M. Davis High, which are also part of the Modesto City High District. However, Modesto High outperforms the alternative and continuation schools in the area, such as Robert Elliott Alternative Education Center and Stanislaus Alternative Charter. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Modesto High may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Modesto High School offers an excellent education for the aspiring student, a plethora of sports and clubs, and a wide sense of community. Although some look down on the school because of its undesirable location, Modesto High is very secure. I have attended the school for four years and have never once encountered any of the rumored gang fights or shootings that some say Modesto High is notorious for. That is a lie. I have received a great education here from a wonderful staff of well-experienced and concerned teachers. The arts programs, including drama, dance, band, orchestra, and choir, are all outstanding. Each performance I see feels like a real professional show. Our sports teams are also very accomplished. The IB Program, similar, yet perhaps more demanding than AP classes, has taught me very much and has helped me find my way into a career that I will enjoy. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
